Former Titans DL Jordan Elliott Getting Second Chance in the NFL

The Tennessee Titans and Jordan Elliott parted ways after the Week 6 win over the Indianapolis Colts. 

Elliott appeared on the injury report ahead of Week 6 because of a personal issue. He was eventually ruled out for the game, and fans didn't get an explanation until a few days later. 

The Titans released a statement saying that they had released Elliott because of something that happened at practice on Oct. 15. 

Then, AtoZ Sports' Easton Freeze and Austin Stanley shared that it had to do with a disagreement between Elliott and J.C. Latham at practice. Elliott was upset and stormed out of the Titans' practice facility. 

He went into the parking garage and went to get a gun from his car. The situation was de-escalated, and it never came to the point of Elliott using the gun, thankfully. 

After Elliott had been released, Robert Saleh spoke about Elliott's character and campaigned for him to get another chance with a different team. 

It looks like Elliott is on the verge of getting that chance after the news that came out on Friday. NFL Analyst Jordan Schultz shared that the Chicago Bears were going to give Elliott a workout next week. 

Elliott played in five games for the Titans with one start, recording 11 total tackles and two TFLs. He joined the team in the offseason after spending one season with Saleh at the San Francisco 49ers in 2025. 

He has 159 total tackles, 11 TFLs and five sacks in his NFL career. 

If Elliott does land with the Bears, he would be reunited with his former teammate, Jeffery Simmons. Simmons was traded to the Bears just before the Week 8 matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals. 

Simmons played right away for the Bears, recording six total tackles, one sack and two TFLs in their Monday Night Football matchup with the Seattle Seahawks. 

The Titans were able to put up a good fight against the Bengals in what was their first game since he was traded. The Titans still lost 43-36 in overtime. 

The Bears are a much better team than the Titans, so if Elliott does get signed, there's no guarantee how much playing time he'll get off the bat. 

As Saleh said, Elliott is a good player, but the incident with the Titans is going to loom over him as he tries to get back into the league. 

We'll have to wait and see if the Bears give Elliott his second chance and reunite him with Simmons in Chicago.
